Comprised of a single unit that includes analog, digital, and MIDI I/O, along with four high-quality mic preamps, Digidesign Digi 002 Rack communicates with your host computer via a single included FireWire cable — so you’re able to take it with you anywhere to make the most of your creativity and time. Included Digidesign Pro Tools LE software comprises the very user-friendly interface component, offering 32 tracks of simultaneous record and playback, 256 MIDI tracks, real-time (RTAS) plug-in support and Digidesign DigiRack plug-ins, plus a host of additional powerful features.

Digidesign Digi 002 Rack is a single-box design that includes a sole FireWire (or 1394) connection to handle the exchange of information to and from your computer, so you just plug in and go. Along with the included Digidesign Pro Tools LE software, Digidesign Digi 002 Rack provides the means to create everything from top-notch demos to masterful DJ mixes to superb radio spots, all with 24-bit clarity and up to 96 kHz sample rate support. Its analog, digital, and MIDI capabilities enable Digidesign Digi 002 Rack to handle a wide variety of I/O configurations, while dedicated monitor and headphone outputs allow you to keep a close ear on progress.

Getting your Digidesign Digi 002 Rack system up and running involves a quick, simple, five-step process. First, you load your Digidesign Pro Tools LE software onto your computer. Second, you connect your computer to the Digidesign Digi 002 Rack with the included FireWire cable (If your PC — some Sony computers, for instance — utilizes a 4-pin FireWire port, you'll need to purchase a special 4-pin to 6-pin FireWire to make the connection). Third, you power up Digidesign Digi 002 Rack. Fourth, you connect your signal sources — mics, instrument cables, patch cords, etc. — to the I/O on the back of Digidesign Digi 002 Rack. Lastly, you launch Pro Tools LE software. At that point, you're ready to go.
